$BTC EXTREME FEAR WON’T GO AWAY — IS THIS A WARNING OR A GIFT?
Crypto sentiment is still stuck in Extreme Fear, and it’s getting uncomfortable. The index sits at 24 today, unchanged from yesterday, after printing 16 last week and 19 last month. Fear hasn’t just appeared—it’s lingering.
Earlier in this cycle, Extreme Fear reliably marked local bottoms. Panic peaked, weak hands sold, and price rebounded. But this time feels different. The fear isn’t sharp and fast—it’s slow, grinding, and persistent. That’s what’s making traders uneasy.
Extended fear can mean two very different things. Either the market is building a long accumulation base while sentiment stays crushed… or it’s the early phase of a trend shift where optimism never fully returns. The key difference is what happens next, not how scared people feel now.
Markets rarely reward the crowd when fear feels safest.
But when fear lasts too long, it forces a bigger question.
Is this exhaustion before a reversal—or the first chapter of a bear market?
